New Wonder Pill......
5 Answers
What does everyone think about this new " wonder pill " that will possibly be out next year, supposedly helping to combat smoking, drinking & obesity? (Know what i'll be having for christmas next year!!) Joking aside, do you think that it's right to take pills for this sort of thing, or should we stick with JUST good old fashioned exercise, healthy eating & willpower? I'm in two minds about it, but then, i'm not obese and i don't smoke.

Looking at the trials evidence, it would appear that the benefits on weight are great, however it does also require a strict 600 calorie a day reduction in the overall diet in order to be effective. Most slightly overweight people would show some benefit from this reduction alone. It is obese people who show the maximum combined benefit of the reduction and the drug.
